It can, but I believe you will have to install a VNC client. Try TightVNC (tightvnc.com) or UltraVNC (uvnc.com).

I’m using UltraVNC on Vista(Home Premium/SP2), and can’t use this application…

1. I can’t found my PC by this application
I can see the message “Locel WiFi Connections…” “Looking for computers…”, but nothing happen. So I Added my local IP & VNC PWD manually tapping “advanced”.
2. I can’t connect to my PC
Inputing VNC PWD correctly, I saw the message “incorrect password”. I also use Mocha VNC Lite on iPhone, and can connect to my Vista by Mocha, so i think my password is right and WinVNC run correctly.

Could you give me some advice…?

Each button in AirMote can be set to perform one or more keyboard keystrokes. So if there is a keyboard equivalent for a command, it can perform that command. At my house, I also installed FastScripts Lite, a free program that lets an AppleScript run via a keystroke. I use this to set up buttons that launch different apps.

The iPhone can communicate via WiFi or the cell network. WiFi has the least latency. But if a computer is hardwired onto the Internet via Ethernet, AirMote can use the cell data network to get to the computer, if the computer is exposed on the Internet and has port 5900 open.

I am looking for a remote that will allow me to control MS word. I teach using the textbook in word so my students can see my highlights in the same location as their text. This literally keeps everyone on the same page.
So I want to scroll down the page, we examine pictures and it would be nice to be able to activate hyperlinks to quicktime and close them again.
It might be nice to be able to change screen size to make things fit properly from the projector but if I had to go back to the computer it would not be the end of the world I guess.
POwerpoint or keystone just does not seem to work for me to keep connected with the students.
Would I need to establish a WIFI network in the classroom to use your program with my macbookpro?
What do you think of my chances of adapting your program for my classroom needs with word.
Students would be impressed I’m sure.

Right now you can create any number of buttons that can do most anything a keyboard can do, and any number of screens with any combination of buttons. But each screen is limited to a grid of up to 12 buttons.

As soon as my newest app, the amazing Myallo HotList (http://myallo.com/hotlist) comes out and settles in, I’m doing an update to AirMote. [Myallo HotList is submitted, waiting for Apple to approve.] Some of the things that _might_ get in the next AirMote include different size buttons with different layouts and colors, and new kinds of {“buttons” such as a trackpad, keyboard, and remote screen. Those are in the plans, but I don’t know what actually will get in.

Can I create my own button libraries somehow? I’d love to be able to create graphical buttons too.

Some things I’d love:
1) Be able to import icons (small PNGs) for buttons
2) Be able to set # of buttons on screen (or Rows and Columns), as 12 may be a bit tight for some solutions (I think that – for some applications – you could easily go to 20 (4*5) or even 30 (5*6) buttons)

This would – for instance – allow me to set up my device as a game-keyboard or a Gimp pad and activate actions/function using the same graphics I would use when clicking on the on-screen buttons…

If you’re looking to ONLY CONTROL PLEX you should look at http://remote.collect3.com.au/

It has tighter integration with plex (or xbmc, maybe boxee never tried it)
Eg. Allows browsing of sources: movies/tv shows (with art) on the phone.
Also has a fully featured remote, and a gesture based mode so you dont need to look at the iPhone to move up/down/left/right and click.

I’m not affiliated with remote, just love using it for plex.

Will look at AirMote for controlling other apps.

Keep up the great work.
